he is running as the constitution candidate because he thinks mitt romney and the republicans are too liberal on immigration and other issues. how many votes will begin? i don't have a clue. he shows up in polls at 1% or 2%, but people tend to respond to polls more favorably to third-party candidates than they act on election day and it is behavior on election day that matters. if virginia turns out to be 10,000 votes between romney and obama and virgil goode its 25,000 votes, you could make the argument he might have cost mitt romney the state. but otherwise i doubt it. and there is a liberal candidate, jill stein, the green party candidate. i doubt she gets a very much support. >> a few minutes left with our guest larry sabato -- host: a few minutes left for our guests larry sabato. hi, rose. caller: i am so glad to get on to talk with you. i have issues if i could take a little time. it is called the koch brothers issues. there was a national geographic documentary and i am quoting a lot of it, where they were born and raised in russia and they inherited a lot of money and they are

so, in some sense, whatever romney says is the republican position. we have seen him philosophically, seems to go to the middle, in tone, if not positions, most noticeably in the debates. but you don't hear a lot of complaints about this from the far right. you hear mostly a party that's very energized, very enthusiastic, and marching in lockstep, working to get him elected. host: we've got a headline from today's "washington post," with electoral end zone in view, candidates blitz swing states. in terms of people on the ground and getting the attention from the headquarters and saying, you know, we need the candidate here, we need the candidate there, explain a little bit about how that works and who gets the -- who gets the preference among various troop movements. guest: well, what we're seeing right now is the candidates are in such constant motion, that they're saying yes to everyone basically. you had obama hitting, i believe, eight states in two days, and that's literally all the swing states at once. and romney is doing the same thing. he's hi

the republican -- the independents are leading romney. host: the most expensive campaign in the country is in virginia. frank is on the phone from fort lauderdale, florida. good morning, frank. caller: good morning. what disturbs me about president obama's rhetoric is that he refers to that if romney is elected, we will go back to the policies that got us into trouble in the first place. the fact is, that was a democratic legislature about deregulating the mortgage industry that said you do not have to have been more downpayments and you do not have to verify employment. i talked -- mortgage industry that said you do not have to have downpayments and you do not have to verify employment. it is unfair for the president to misrepresent the facts. that disturbs me greatly. i am a former democrat, but this year i will be voting mitt romney and the republican ticket. host: thank you for the call. guest: i do not accept the premise of that on what the president has said. mr. romney's economic policies by exactly the same of george w. bush's eco
